I have a love of animals, with my farm menagerie & involvement in WIRES I constantly have new subjects to draw, I find my inspira�on in the beau�ful expressions of animals, I enjoy drawing eyes best as there is such beauty, kindness, character and love in animals eyes.
My passion for art con�nues to strengthen whilst I con�nue improving my skills and broadening my mediums used, I currently prefer pencil but am dabbling in other mediums.
I do all types of animal commissions from wildlife to loved pets.

I work in mixed media fibre art, and par�cularly enjoy needle fel�ng, finding it a very sculptural medium. Over the past few years I’ve been incorpora�ng natural and dyed suri alpaca fleece in Exhibi�on "wool pain�ngs” and 3D free-standing so� sculptures. Suri fleece adds such lustre and so�ness to my work, and only takes a li�le more pa�ence than English Leicester - my other fleece love, or merino.
“Puppy Love” is needle felted en�rely from natural coloured suri from my own herd using wool pain�ng techniques.
“Manni”, my palm-sized alpaca, is a depic�on of one of my own favourite girls in full fleece and is pure suri needle felted over a wire armature. All the medium fawn fleece comes from Manni’s last shearing, with other colours contributed by some of her herd mates.
